MORE REMBRANDT


MAN IN ARMOR

This is a big and heavy diorama (6 ft high, 3.5 ft wide and 1 ft deep) which reflects one of its names, Alexander the Great.  It is made entirely of wood except for the cape which is a canvas like cloth which I painted.


JAN SIX

Jan Six was a friend of Rembrandt and a collector of his work.  He was a well known writer and burgomaster of Amsterdam.

The size of this diorama reflects his importance (7.5 ft, 4 ft wide and 1 ft deep).  Once again, everything is made of wood except the cape which is canvas like painted cloth.





THE SYNDICS

Also called "The Sampling Officals of the Cloth-Makers Guild at Amsterdam" is one of the artist best know paintings (Dutch Master's Cigars made sure of that).

This one is made of wood, plaster and painted cloth and is one of the smaller ones (4 ft wide, 3 ft tall and 1 ft deep).




THE FALCONER

This guy is probably the medieval Dutch hero, Count Floris V of Holland.  He was lured to his death by his former associates on the promise of a hunting expedition
